Should we help the homeless or ignore them?

A homeless man asked for some money to get something to eat. When told that the person didn’t have any cash on them just change, he said he didn’t want change because thats not going to do anything for him. He than began to rant on how people keep giving him change and telling him to have a good day. So do you think when we help the homeless we are hindering them from being independent? Comment below!
